“88 Minutes” Trailer

The trailer for Al Pacino’s newest thriller “88 Minutes” has just been released. It looks to be one of those suspenseful movies that unfolds in real-time and seems very reminiscent of “Phone Booth” as a result.

“88 Minutes” focuses on a college professor (Pacino), who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI and receives a death threat claiming that he has only has 88 minutes to live. In order to save his own life, he must use all of his skills and training to narrow down the possible suspects, who include a disgruntled student, a jilted former lover, and a serial killer who is already on death row.

Jon Avnet, who has not directed a feature since the 1997 thriller Red Corner, sat in the director’s chair for “88 Minutes” Millenium Films has not set a release date yet.
